My quest for brachiopods :)

Recommended Posts


Who want to help me ? I would be happy to offer brachiopods from France ,but also various nice Echinoids or carboniferous plants in exchange of new species  i still not have .

I must say i have 371 Mesozoic brachiopods species mostly from France,Spain,Portugal,Germany and the UK(very few from the States,Texas)

270 Palaeozoic brachiopods Species mostly from the States,Canada, Belgium,Germany and Sweden

22 Tertiary Brachiopods Species From the States(eocene Castle Hayne Formation…)Australia, Spain and Italy

All new locations and species would be great!:) It is really hard to find now! camelot1.thumb.jpg.13c2e1fd0feb0c39c39d92feeea38166.jpg

I have a few available from the Morocco Pliensbachian/Torcian, but I suppose you have also from there. Those were collected by me and I know location and age, but I can't ID them. This is up to the experts :brachiopod:.

I have a collection of brachiopods from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky with MANY to spare.  Ordovician through Mississippian in age. Like Ricardo, my ability to identify is marginal and I try my best. You can check out my posts as I usually do trip reports of my finds.

You likely have many of these, but I've posted a pretty good selection I've what I've found here:

 

 

These do preserve with shell material locally, perhaps that is different, so let me know. I have only brachiopods locally, not a single one from further than 12 miles from here.

I have few Morocco samples without  location and age(impossible to ID)but if you have samples collected by you and you know location and age,this would be great!!

WOW, you've got 663 brachiopod species and you're still looking for more? Would like to see a group photo. It must get pretty tough to find new stuff when you've got so many already - all the common ones and then some?

I wish I had some to trade, I could use more brachs (or echinoids) in my collection, but they don't occur very commonly around here, and when they do they're not well-preserved.

Hello Wrangellian ,An overview is a filing cabinet full of drawers filled with plastic bags, but each species is identified and photographed (more and more precisely with experience) before joining this cabinet.These are the pictures :)

Wow, what a lot of work! Not just collecting but photographing. Looks good. I was able to gain a more confident ID for one of my specimens thanks to this. :default_clap2:

Glad you like them! Thanks again for the pleasant trade. The plants are beautiful, especially the Alloiopteris (I've been to that terril several times, but never found one myself). Please keep me posted on your progress with identification!

 

P.S. For the brachiopods and associated fauna from Timor, Winkler Prins (2008) might be a good starting point, also because it contains some relevant references.
